“Hey, great idea: if you have kids, give your partner reading vouchers next Christmas. Each voucher entitles the bearer to two hours' reading time *while the kids are awake*. It might look like a cheapskate present, but parents will appreciate that it costs more in real terms than a Lamborghini.”
“If you read to your kids, you'll make readers out of them, partly because they'll associate reading with good parent-time.”
“HEY, KIDS! TAKE YOUR DICKS OUT OF THE PLAYSTATION THREE FOR ONE GOD DAMN MINUTE AND READ SOME FUCKING COMICS.”
“Yeah, my life a bitch, but you know nothing about herBeen to hell and back, I can show you vouchers”
“I hadn’t read a real series like that since I was a kid, and it was exciting to live again in an infinite fiction.”
“Do you know how many times I've read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" to this kid? That is one fucked-up story. How is that a book for babies?”
